Single Loud 8"

[JG903 10+ year member]

I was wondering if anybody has any experience with burping a single 8" sub with good results. No port wars, but on dash or kick.

I have a 8" RE sub and have been thinking about putting it in a fart box and seeing what it can do. Anybody know how much it can handle on a burp?

No, but........ it is possible to blow them..... I had one running off the sub channel of my JL 500/5 and definitely fried the VC by rockin too hard..... I'm pretty sure I was in fact clipping the amp, so, I bet it could handle a bit more, but.......... I'm not a basshead either.

Well, I am going to try 600 rms and see what it does after 3 seconds. I think it should be fine, but I could be wrong.

We have done a single DD 1508 on 600 watts, 140.9 on the dash.

New amp should be in mid this week going to try 1500 watts on it.

the dd 8's have been burped. theyre very similar to the aq sd2.5 8's. im sure someone has burped the rli/tc1000 8's. i know mine got pretty loud with 1kw to the pair. box was 1.8 @ 32hz iirc.

I did a single 8" Trubass in my Jimmy with 250 watts and did a 133.9 at 44 hertz. 44 hertz on an 8 doing a number is priceless. Watching peoples mouth drop is better yet. My next surprise should be interesting.

i've burped my rl-i8 on multipule setups, the best in a tl box, did a 139.9 @ 34hz off ~1700wrms and a factory gm h/u in a 06 trailblazer.

kicker did a wall with a single 8L7, broke 150. can't remember all the details though, s-10xcab i think.

8s can be loud, lol. very loud.
